My Many Imperfections: Day 4

My Many Imperfections:  Day 4
Impatience...


Oh man.  I am so impatient!  Believe it or not, I have improved in that area, but I'm still a pretty impatient person.  Here is an example...

This morning I was pondering and grieving the fact that Abbie can't talk to me.  She can't tell me the little things about her day, she can't tell me if she's sad about something, and we don't get to enjoy each others' conversation...  Then about an hour later, I was making muffins and Malachi WOULD NOT SHUT UP!  "Muffin Mommy!  Chair Mommy!  Bird Mommy!  Monkey Mommy!"  Ahhh!!!!  So, one hour later, I found myself saying, (yelling)  "Malachi!  Can you please just stop talking for like 1 minute?!?!"

Now, how crazy does that make me?  I'm grieving the absence of one child's voice and cursing the other's voice.  Ugh, I'm not good at balancing and I am so impatient!

I have a magnet on my fridge that says, "I don't have time for impatient people."  I didn't buy it for myself... which means my impatience is something people note about me and are buying me "impatient memorabilia" to laugh about it! :)  I think that means I still have work to do!

Have patience, have patience, don't be in such a... (instead face slap here).  Haha!
